Hot Honey Salmon (Quick and Easy Chili Crisp Salmon Recipe)
This Hot Honey Salmon is a 15-minute recipe with a twist — instead of traditional hot honey, it uses chili crisp for a sweet, spicy glaze with irresistible crunch. It’s faster, bolder, and more flavorful than most versions.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1¾ pounds salmon fillets (skin on or off)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons chili crunch
- 1½ teaspoons honey
- olive oil for the pan
Instructions
- Place the salmon fillets on a large plate or baking sheet. Mix the chili crunch with the honey and lime juice and drizzle/spread it over the salmon fillets.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a large skillet with the oil and place it over high heat. Once the pan is very hot, add the coated fillets. You should hear a sizzling sound -- if you don't the pan isn't hot enough yet.
- Keep the heat high for the first 2 to 3 minutes, then reduce it to low, cover and continue to cook just until it's almost cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes. Serve!
Notes
* You can use a cast iron skillet or a nonstick skillet. It's especially important that the pan be hot enough if it's not nonstick, so the fish sears properly and doesn't stick.
